The blackout uses the ar10 muzzle threads. The price of ammo keeps dropping and 7 ammo manufacturers are making rounds or starting production. The blackout supersonics are loaded a little hotter then the whispers and you can shoot whisper ammo in a blackout but not the otherway around. (Think 5.56 vs .223). My 8 year old hunts with the blackout and it is very effective. If I didnt hold a lot of 5.56 ammo and weapons I would probably go straight blackout. Also the black develops most of its velocity in the first 9" barrels making sbr and pistol builds very effwctive as well. Reloading supplies are becoming very common. I there are 3 basic twists. 1-10 is some of the older(oldest) and will generally stabilize up to 208 gr. 1-8 was the standard twist, it works for 110 to 220 gr. Now they are coming in one and 7 twist for up to 247 gr. If you are looking for hunting and home defense, any twist above is good. If you want to suppress and want the maximum out of the black go 1-7 with 247. Barnes is coming out with a 110 gr solid that has very impressive test results against media.
